Hey Bold and the Beautiful fans, we have got Hope Logan hitting rock bottom this week with nothing left to lose—and that’s going to leave her looking for someone to blame and also wanting payback.
Is she going to go all out to get it?
we’re going to talk about the possibility that after Steffy fired her—and Carter stood by that decision—we could see Hope go dark and turn into a full-on villain.
But before we jump in, please click subscribe if you’re not following us!
Okay, so Steffy just read Hope for filth, cut her line, and fired her—again—from Forrester Creations. Brooke tried to stop it, but she’s got no power over Ridge, Eric, or Steffy.
Then Carter chose to stay at FC with the Forresters instead of siding with Hope—even when she begged him to walk out with her. Carter told Hope, “This is my livelihood,” but she didn’t care. Hope lost it and stormed out.
Carter followed her home and tried to salvage things, but Hope dumped him, calling him another disappointment and another man who betrayed her.
But Carter thinks that since their love affair predated the LLC, him tearing up the papers shouldn’t matter to their relationship.
Hope pushing him away should be a huge red flag to Carter—that yes, he was being used for what he could do for Hope. Maybe not 100%… but maybe 50/50.
And now, Carter feels a strong pull toward Daphne, and she’s going to make a play for him this week.
If Hope sticks to her rejection of Carter, you know the French woman may have him in her arms—and in her bed—before too long.
As it stands now, the first issue is that Hope has no career.
She’s never worked anywhere but Forrester, has no college degree, and she’s not a designer—she’s just the inspiration for a line and the brand name on it. That’s kind of it.
So… not sure Hope can whip up a resume with her top skill as “nepotism”—because my mom was married to and sleeping with the business owner isn’t exactly a strong qualification.
And on top of the job problem, she’s got love life problems.
Carter is gone, it seems, and that means he’s just one more man who let her down—like Liam has done so many times.
Then, to ice the crap cake she’s having this week—something happens that Hope never expected.
Brooke—who has always been Hope’s rock, the one person who’s always had her back—turns on her.
That all changes this week when Brooke goes off on Hope, saying:
“Until you take responsibility, I got no sympathy for you.”
Part of this may be Brooke’s anger about Ridge not reconciling with her and sticking with Taylor.
This week, Brooke basically tells Ridge—now that he’s back in the CEO seat—it’s time to come home, reunite, and push Taylor out of the way.
But… I don’t think that’s happening.
So, a very frustrated Brooke may lash out at Hope for pushing Carter toward the coup, which Brooke thinks drove Ridge to Taylor. And honestly, she’s pretty accurate.
Another part of Brooke’s temper fit is that Hope still doesn’t think she did anything wrong.
Even now, she blames Steffy for firing her unfairly—even though Hope for the Future’s numbers were in the toilet and she knew if she didn’t pull them up, the line would be axed.
She was warned multiple times by several people—including Carter, Steffy, Ridge, and Eric.
And now, she also blames Carter for letting Steffy re-fire her.
But as for Hope accepting any responsibility for any of the consequences of stealing Forrester from its owner?
Not. Happening.
Up until now, Brooke has always been able to defend Hope—because she at least tried to be a good girl, even when she fell short.
But ever since Hope kissed Thomas, climbed into his bed, and wrecked her marriage—she’s been on a spiral.
Some sort of… I don’t know… evil evolution.
And then, she pulled the coup with Carter and rubbed everything in the Forresters’ faces.
She’s been getting wilder, making less ethical decisions, and becoming more unapologetic about it.
This is a very different Hope than the Hope from years ago—the Kim Matula version of Hope.
And soon, when Brooke chews her out—that could be the moment where she says:
“Screw it. Being good never got me anything.”
You know that saying—was it Mae West who said it?
“Good girls go to heaven, but bad girls go everywhere.”
Hope may decide… you know what? I’m just going to break bad.
We know there are a lot of upcoming scenes with Deacon and Hope.
After Brooke rants at her, Hope turns to Deacon, meaning she’ll be hanging out at Il Giardino… with Deacon and Sheila.
And that also puts Hope into lunatic Luna’s orbit—possibly Remy’s orbit too.
That’s a whole bunch of villains who claim they’re redeemed—but I don’t know.
If Hope decides to go all out and do bad things for payback, she may be joining this league of villains.
We could see people who hate Steffy—including Sheila, Hope, and Luna—all working together against her.
Hope may fully embrace her dark side and team up with all the B&B baddies to get revenge.
I think that would be wicked fun.
Daddy Deacon may even decide to help Hope punish Brooke—for not having her back with the coup, the firing, and her split from Carter.
Heck, Hope might not want to live in that cabin on Brooke’s property anymore.
She may take baby Beth and move closer to Deacon—pushing Brooke aside.
I mean, if Hope’s going full villain, she needs a lair, right?
She may even throw Ridge sticking with Taylor in Brooke’s face, telling her she should have accepted Deacon’s proposal instead of chasing Ridge—who always waffles back to Taylor.
Hope might snark at Brooke—“See where that got you?”
Then, Sheila and Luna may plot with Hope to get Finn away from Steffy—because that would benefit all of them.
Finn’s mom and daughter want to replace Steffy with Hope.
If Hope was Finn’s new gal pal, then he wouldn’t be banned from seeing Luna and Sheila… and they might even get to see baby Hayes.
I could totally see Hope and Sheila—with some help from Luna—terrorizing Steffy.
Maybe even pulling Remy into it—using his internet skills to send Steffy scary texts or do some devious photoshopping.
Not, you know, naked deepfake stuff like he did with Electra—but something to make Steffy look sketchy.
Like she’s back on pills or getting too close to Liam.
If Hope teams up with Luna and Sheila, they could work together, coordinate, and carry out revenge missions—while making sure the real suspects had actual alibis.
And with Hope spending so much time with Deacon soon, this might be the direction things are heading.
I’d love to see it.
Let me know in the comments if you would!
It might actually be refreshing to see Hope just embrace it and become a full-on baddie.
And for Deacon to return to his dark side—but this time, with his daughter in his corner.
Hope is the only reason Deacon tried to be a better man in the first place…
And I think it’d be cool to see them all break bad together.
